There is a high risk of new eruption taking place under the glacier. I don&#8217;t know if subsidence of the caldera is going on at the moment or has stopped. It might take days, weeks or months until inflation starts again in B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. This is a rifting event and that means this is far from over. For the moment however it is going to be a little break (at least, it can be hope) in the activity in Holuhraun or B\u00e1r\u00f0arbunga volcano. The lava and the crater continue to be extremely hot (~800C) and are going to remain hot for many years (5 years?). <\/p>\n<p>Since the eruption in Holuhraun is over I won&#8217;t post any update next Wednesday.
